^Yep. Get the skinniest needlenosed pliers you can find and just work at the piece very gently. Eventually it will come lose and just make sure you've tried to bend it enough to get out the opening. Can't quite remember how the metal is held in there, but I think its just a plastic clip. I did not like how the reflector only shined forward. I'm not sure what the percentage of people who changed out the corners also pulled out the metal reflector.

Also, again, watch out of the insides of the clear corner as it scratches easily. Also I found that using a can of compressed air and blowing out the inside of the corner can get out any bits of metal that are left inside.

I'll try to post up some picks this weekend.
Any pics yet?
